A girt assembly for releasably connecting an evacuation slide to an aircraft includes superimposed flexible panels that are continuous at a pair of spaced connection points for connection with the aircraft. One or more catenary loops are formed in each panel for distributing forces on the flexible panels along a length of the loops. The connection points may be releasably connected to a girt bar with spaced bracket assemblies or directly connected to floor brackets associated with the aircraft.
